Traffic crimes vary based on the severity of the offense. Running a stop sign, for example, is generally viewed as a lesser crime when compared to drunk driving. Still, a conviction can tarnish your reputation and hurt your plans for the future.
If you’re facing charges for a traffic crime, a Chester County traffic crimes lawyer from McKenzie Law Firm, P.C. can defend you. We’ll aim for your case’s best possible outcome, whether that’s a reduction, dismissal, or a “not guilty” verdict.
Types of Traffic Violations
Even if you’re facing a minor traffic crime conviction, it can still add points to your license. If you get too many points on your license, your license may be revoked or suspended. These points can also increase insurance premiums.
Our team defends Pennsylvanians against:
“Minor” Traffic Violations
While the law may consider a minor traffic violation minor, we take each case seriously. We’re ready to help if you’re being accused of:
- Speeding: This is one of the most common moving violations. To fight a speeding ticket, it is important to know how the officer detected your speed and the speed limit you are accused of violating.
- Running a stop sign: If you decide to fight a ticket for running a stop sign, the prosecutor will have to prove you ran the stop sign. There are many defense strategies we can use in this situation, including showing that the stop sign was not visible.
- Texting while driving: The Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicles prohibits texting while driving in Pennsylvania. This includes sending and responding to text messages or emails. It does not include the use of a GPS device. A $50 fine is required if you receive a ticket for texting while driving. If your texting while driving charge leads to a reckless driving charge, our attorneys can help you fight those allegations.
Major Traffic Violations
As mentioned, some traffic violations are considered more serious than others. Some “major” traffic violations include:
- Driving under the influence: The Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicles notes that driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 percent (or more) constitutes drunk driving.
- Reckless driving: Reckless driving is usually a misdemeanor criminal offense that can require you to pay fines or even serve jail time. A reckless driving conviction can also lead to license suspension.
- Vehicular homicide: Vehicular homicide is a third-degree felony. You could face seven years in prison, among other consequences.
